Code of Practice between Euroanaesthesia and Commercial Organisations
The ESA annual Euroanaesthesia congress is an important international event with thousands of participants. It is a venue for the presentation and exchange of up-to-date scientific data and brings together specialists from many countries to exchange information and experience. It is also an opportunity for commercial companies involved in healthcare to meet with practitioners and specialists in the field. Without the support of pharmaceutical and medical equipment companies the annual meeting would not be possible in the present form. The contribution from companies is therefore welcomed by the ESA.
Healthcare is under public scrutiny. The relationship between science and commerce at these medical scientific meetings must be balanced and professionally managed. This responsibility lies equally with individual delegates, the ESA as organiser, and the participating commercial organisations. The ESA has adopted a "Code of Practice" for the commercial organisations participating at Euroanaesthesia. The commercial organisations who take part in meetings under the jurisdiction of the ESA should plan and conduct activities which will enhance the scientific objectives of the meeting. Commercial activities should not exceed that which is deemed acceptable. The following guidelines represent the code of practice adopted by the ESA and applicable to the commercial organisations participating at Euroanaesthesia meetings.
The Euroanaesthesia 2009 Guidelines has been put together for everyone's benefit. In the guidelines you will find information on what to consider when planning to partake in the exhibition, or signing up for a publicity or sponsorship opportunity.
The Euroanaesthesia 2009 Terms & Conditions specify the rules that apply to your application and participation.
